[rt-users] Updated subject not used in outgoing email

[Angus Rea]

Thanks Joop - yes, the following steps fixed the problem:

a) enabled TransactionBatch in /opt/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm by adding:

      Set($UseTransactionBatch , 1);

b) restarted RT

c) changed the Stage for the 'On Create, autoreply' scrip to 
TransactionBatch.

Re the side effects of enabling TransactionBatch, I searched the wiki 
but I couldn't find any specific issues,
at least with the latest versions - any hints as to what these side 
effects may be?

thanks again - Angus
